Meanwhile, Punjab Kings skipper Shreyas Iyer said calling openers Prabhsimran Singh and Priyansh Arya as ‘match-winners' boosts their confidence and allows them to play with freedom in the IPL.
Both Prabhsimran and Priyansh have amassed 211 runs each in the ongoing IPL 2026 season, as PBKS have maintained their position as the only unbeaten team in the competition. “We have a team room, which is probably there for every team. We try to spend a lot of time together in that team room before and after games, and whenever we have off days.
“We come together and build that bond. Whenever I speak to them, my only message is, just be yourself. Don't try to emulate, mimic, or be someone else. When you are playing at this level and you are fearless and flamboyant in your own way, you don't have to resemble or copy anyone.
“When you tell these guys that they are match-winners, both Prabhsimran and Priyansh Arya, it instils confidence in them. They can just go out there and play freely. They have been delivering for us and hopefully, they continue to do so,” said Iyer on JioStar's ‘Believe'.
